A phrase coined by prosecutors in NYC during the crack years used to describe juries who are naturally skeptical of the police in general and are not likely to be swayed by the testimony of a police officer during a trial. Police Officers testifying had the opposite effect. Bronx Juries, because of their own dealings with the NYPD would be much more likely to dismiss or ignore altogether, any testimony from a police officer at a trial. Cops were not arbitrarily trusted and many cases in the Bronx were dismissed if only based on the testimony of a police officer. A prosecutor's nightmare- a defense dream.
